Fresh post-mortem conducted
SHILLONG: The body of the 15-year-old girl of Williamnagar, who was alleged murdered by her stepfather, was exhumed on Tuesday and a fresh post-mortem was conducted as per the court order.
The deceased, who was reported missing on September 28, was a student of Sacred Heart HS School of Kusimkolgre, Williamnagar and the mutilated and decomposed body of the girl identified as Grikchina N.Sangma was recovered from a forest area located about 5 km away from Williamnagar town.
The body was exhumed as a Health Department official of the district had told the court that he cannot give a fullfledged report since there was no Forensic Science expert in Williamnagar
Hence, the body was exhumed as per the court order and post-mortem was conducted in the presence of an FSL expert from Tura.
“We are now waiting for the report,” East Garo Hills SP DNR Marak said.
Police are looking into all angles of the crime as it was the step father Rashu N Marak who initially filed the FIR about the missing of his daughter and later he emerged as the prime suspect in the case.
In the FIR, Marak had stated that he had taken his daughter for medical check-up at Williamnagar bazar. When she complained of dizziness, the father hired an auto-rickshaw to take his daughter home since he had to meet some person in the bazaar.
The version of the step father has given rise to suspicion which prompted the mother of the girl lodge an FIR on October 3 which led to the step father’s arrest.
